You don’t normally get the full on experience of it here in the northeast, but almost everywhere else in the world is barreling through a week long rager that ends on (fat) Tuesday…it’s CARNIVAL time! From Rio to Tobago, from Milan to Barcelona to my sweet Crescent City, it’s basically New Years Eve and Halloween rolled up into an 8-ball and mainlined into the fun gland of your cortex! People are getting dressed up like lunatics, drinking during daylight hours, and promenading down their respective boulevards like peacocks in love. Oh, something about Jesus is in there too, I understand… but didn’t de LAWD drink de WINE? Of course he did, you silly heathen.

Le Weekender
There are weekends and there are weekenders. These are the kinds of nights that all true warriors strive for. These are the nights we throw in the faces of haters and fakers who dare to tell you rock and roll, nay, that even FUN itself, is dead in New York City.
Season of the Itch
Happy Autumnal Equinox, Friends and Fiends! Summer is now not only formally over, but scientifically DONE. Put away them flip flops and put on them boots a-go-go. Put down that ice cone and have a warm slap in the face of apple pie. The slight chill in the air when the night falls is the promise that things are only going to get witchy from here on out. Let’s welcome it into our hearts and go go bananas…

When The Levee Breaks…
Come on down to my ark, baby. Come on down where we can play. Come on down, two by two. Giraffes in the front, party in the back, no baboons permitted on top deck. We board promptly at 8. No stragglers, cause the End Times don’t wait for NOBODY, don’t care WHO your band is opening for. 40 days and nights of champagne showers and a undercurrent that will guide you towards destination: Ouchies! Step lively…
I Got Them Ole’ Ice Cream Truck Delirium Tremors Again, Mama
Ruminating on crazy JetBlue guy and this oppressive heat wave that’s got the entire planet in a camel clutch, I was thinking about what needs to happen to make this summer even more awesome/batshit loony than it’s already been: Some guy behind an ice cream truck, who just can’t take it anymore…
